VICTORIA, Texas — The Texas Wesleyan Baseball team swept their series finale 7-2 at University of Houston-Victoria on Saturday afternoon.
 
Yesterday the Rams took down the Jaguars 8-6 and 14-4 in a double header.
 
In an interview with NAIA Ball, Head coach Bobby Garza said getting the sweep helps get the Rams back into a rhythm after some roadblocks encountered early in the year.
 
"We struggled early in the season with COVID-19 issues and the winter storm," Garza said. "It inhibited us from getting into a flow. It was really good to get down here to Houston-Victoria and get away with a sweep. We finally got some momentum going and are looking to sustain it."
 
The Rams out-hit the Jaguars 8 to 5 with Greyson Barrett having a 3 for 5 day at the plate, and he blasted his tenth homer of the year. Jose Sosa hit his third home run of the season.
 
Brayden Bahnsen went 1 for 2 with a 2 RBI triple. Ryne Randle also hit 1 for 2 with 2 RBI. He hit a one-run double and a SAC fly.
 
Garza commented that the last couple weeks have been really good for his offense.
 
"The hitters have done a really good with the fastball and staying with the off-speed pitches," Garza added. "We've kind of adapted a deal where no one has to be perfect here, you just got to be you. The lineup has done a really good job and we're looking forward to next week.
 
Starter Jalen Evans improves to 2-0 on the hill. In his longest outing this season, he pitched 6.2 innings allowing 5 hits, 2 runs and 1 walk while striking out eight.
 
Garza said, "You could see the confidence he would gain as the game went on and having him hit 94-95 mph. That's something he's been working really hard on so we're proud of him."
 
Evans said, "Everything felt really smooth; trusting my teammates and trusting myself to get ahead. That's what Coach Garza has been preaching, the first two out of three just let everything happen."
 
Garrett Moltzan and Matt Moclair closed out the game from the bullpen, with no hits or runs allowed from the Jaguars.
 
Next, the 16-10 Rams will host Jarvis Christian on Tuesday for a single nine inning game before hosting No. 15 USAO who has one of the best pitching staffs in the country.
 
Evans finished, "We know what we are capable of doing. Lack of focus is missing sometimes but this is a big win for us helping to get that focus back because we got a tough schedule coming up…We know it's not going to be easy. We know what they are capable of, but they'll find out what we're capable of as well."
